Be passionate to speak clearly
Show respect and affection to audience
Be convinced before you convince others
Be yourself, do not imitate others
Do not start by making apology for not preparing [choose either be prepared or never accept offer to talk]
Begin with a nice, soft, sweet, friendly ways even to confront idea
Use visual aids – Japanese proverb says: one seeing is better than 100 times telling about
Support a statement by illustration
Moving exhibit is better than static exhibit
Speak with animation and force
Use analogy, demonstration, testimony, statistic
Get a 'yes' response
Get attention: by making suspense or telling story
Draw audience by making show of hands
Avoid technical terms. If unavoidable, explain definition quickly
If audience says no, go back to common agreed point and lead them bit by bit until they fall in your folder
We differ in some points, but we agree on many
Pride is a fundamental explosive character, get it works for us, not against us
Do not under-praise or over-praise
Practice impromptu speaking – speak about now or continue other's story
Practice now in daily conversation
Seek opportunity to practice
Be persistent even after 100 defeats
